For the first time in 14 years, oil exports have been carried out in Syria. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the Ministry of Energy, oil resources exceeding the country's domestic needs were sent to international markets. 600 thousand barrels of crude oil were loaded onto the Nissos Christiana tanker from the port of Tartus and handed over to B Serve Energy company. Officials consider this process an important step in testing Syria's energy system. Riyad al-Jubasi, a representative of the Ministry of Energy, emphasized that the oil was extracted from the country's fields and processed at the Baniyas and Homs refineries. This situation indicates the restoration of Syria's production capacity. Additionally, Maan Pasha, head of the Syrian Oil Transport Company, stated that the resumption of exports could be a significant turning point in the sector. In his opinion, this shipment is not only economically important but also demonstrates the efficiency of transport and port infrastructure. Until 2011, Syria exported an average of 380 thousand barrels of oil per day. However, due to the civil war and international sanctions, exports had almost stopped. Therefore, today's shipment is considered a step of great importance not only economically but also strategically. This process plays an important role in restoring the country's economy and developing the energy sector.

The US intends to offer a large sum of money to the two million residents living in the Gaza Strip of Palestine, proposing that they leave the area. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This plan is causing widespread discussions on the international stage. The project, promoted by former President Donald Trump, aims to relocate the Palestinian population and attract $100 billion in investment. This project could significantly impact people's lifestyles and economic opportunities. The project is called GREAT Trust. According to the document, the US will not directly spend funds but will attract $100 billion from global investors. Based on these investments, investors are expected to receive returns more than four times their investment. Trump's goal is to completely remove HAMAS from power. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and former US presidential advisor Jared Kushner are actively involved in the project. They play a key role in developing financial mechanisms. Experts believe the project will have a major impact on the lives of Gaza residents, and its positive and negative aspects are being widely discussed by the international community. This project could fundamentally change Palestine's political and economic conditions and create new opportunities for global investors.

With the start of the new school year in Ukraine, thousands of children have begun studying in underground schools to ensure safety. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In the city of Kharkiv, due to attacks carried out by Russia, seven modern underground schools are operating in various parts of the city. Approximately seventeen thousand students are studying in these schools. According to the Reuters news agency, this initiative is being implemented in the districts of the city that have suffered the most damage and are in need of peace. The city administration plans to increase the number of underground schools in the near future. According to Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov, three more schools will be opened soon, and six metro stations in the city have been converted into classrooms. About one thousand five hundred students are studying in two schools in the Nova Saltivka district. Due to safety and a peaceful environment, parents trust these institutions. Anastasiya Pochergina, a parent from Kharkiv, said that her daughter started first grade and feels calm because of the underground school's safety, but she also expressed a wish for her child to attend a regular school. Six-year-old Mariya Yampolskaya announced that she started first grade and mentioned that she could not attend kindergarten due to the war. Thus, the new school year for children affected by the war has begun in underground schools in a safe and peaceful environment.

Starting from September 1, a new and modern pilot project for the migration registration of foreign citizens was launched in Moscow city and Moscow region. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The Moscow Multifunctional Migration Center (MMC) officially announced this innovation. Within the framework of this pilot project, the use of the “Amina” mobile application is mandatory for citizens of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, and Ukraine. This application allows foreign citizens to remotely inform the internal affairs authorities about their place of residence and any changes to it. During the registration process, each foreign citizen is required to install the “Amina” application on their personal mobile phone. Access to the application is carried out using a foreign citizenship card; if the card is not available, authorization can also be done using passport data. The application automatically transmits geolocation data to the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. If a citizen does not interact with the system for three working days, they are automatically removed from the migration center’s registry. Additionally, individuals who violate monitoring rules may be included in the “Registry of Persons under Surveillance.” According to MMC data, this pilot project is being introduced on a trial basis as an alternative to the current migration registration procedure. This modern system is designed to simplify the accounting of foreign labor migrants, monitor their legal status, and ensure effective remote monitoring. This innovation serves to simplify and regulate migration processes.

According to the World Health Organization, one in every six deaths worldwide is caused by cancer. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Therefore, large funds are allocated to major projects aimed at deeply studying this disease, identifying its causes, and early diagnosis. According to "The Lancet Oncology," from 2016 to 2023, a total of 108,000 grants amounting to 51.4 billion euros were awarded worldwide for cancer research. These funds include contributions from government and charitable organizations, but expenses from the private sector are not taken into account. Among the countries that allocated the most funds, the United States leads, spending 57 percent of the global funds, that is 25.2 billion euros. European Union countries rank second with 16.8 percent, contributing 7.4 billion euros. The United Kingdom accounts for 11.1 percent (4.9 billion euros), Japan 3.6 percent (1.6 billion euros), Australia 2.9 percent (1.3 billion euros), and Canada and China each allocated 2.6 percent. The United States remains the only country allocating the largest funds for cancer research. At the same time, European countries also contribute significantly by allocating billions of euros in this field. However, poor countries lag behind in research due to a lack of financial resources. The total amount they spend is 48.4 million euros, which is very low compared to other countries. Seventy-six percent of the allocated funds are directed towards laboratory research. In particular, studying common types such as breast cancer and blood cancer, as well as financing clinical trials, are priority areas. Experts emphasize that such large investments play an important role not only in developing new drugs but also in early detection and prevention of the disease. This serves to improve global health.

The US administration launched a special operation this week in the city of Chicago to control immigrants and maintain local public order. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Within the framework of this operation, armored vehicles, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, and National Guard forces were mobilized. CNN television channel disseminated this information. US President Donald Trump had previously promised to introduce federal control measures in Chicago. His goal is to involve federal forces if local authorities fail to effectively eliminate crime and disorder. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker called this action a "military invasion." According to him, Trump's measures are not only aimed at maintaining order but may also be intended to influence the 2026 gubernatorial and Congressional elections. For this reason, local politicians and analysts are debating the political consequences of this decision. In their opinion, this situation may lead to a sharp deterioration in relations between federal and local authorities. Thus, the situation that has arisen in Chicago may cause significant changes in US politics.

The number of casualties from the strong earthquake that occurred on the night of September 1 in Afghanistan has reached 850. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Additionally, more than 3,000 people sustained various injuries and were hospitalized. This was stated in an official statement by the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs. The earthquake occurred at 00:17 local time, with a magnitude of 6.0. The epicenter was located 10 kilometers deep beneath the earth's surface. The greatest damage was observed in the Kunar and Nangarhar provinces bordering Pakistan. According to Zabihullah Mujahid, a representative of the Afghan government, the casualties were mainly among the local population in these two provinces, with many losing their homes and suffering significant losses. According to Sharafat Zaman, spokesperson for the Ministry of Health, the lives and homes of the population were seriously damaged, and the government is requesting assistance from international partners and aid organizations. The government and international organizations are taking necessary measures to provide prompt medical aid to the victims, eliminate destruction, and restore the population to daily life. This tragic event once again highlighted the urgent issue of ensuring the safety and quality of life of the population in Afghanistan.

Chinese scientists have created a new material that allows the extraction of electrical energy from the heat emitted by the human body. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This innovation is expected to further expand the capabilities of the human body. The elastic material called "thermoelectric rubber," developed by specialists, is made based on a semiconductor polymer and rubber, and can convert body temperature into electrical power. This technology could cause significant changes in everyday life in the near future. For example, it will be possible to charge smartwatches or earphones without a special socket, using only body heat. Additionally, it can be used to power phones and other gadgets in places where there is no electrical grid. Scientists plan to integrate this material into "smart clothing" in the future. Such clothing will not only power gadgets but also help regulate human body temperature. The material can be equipped with various sensors that can be used to measure pressure, detect chemical compositions, and monitor the breathing process. These sensors are expected to be useful in healthcare, particularly in detecting viruses and diagnosing lung cancer. Chinese researchers also announced that smart masks will be produced based on this material in the near future. These masks will monitor the respiratory system and help detect various diseases at an early stage. At the same time, "thermoelectric rubber" is expected to bring a new perspective to energy sources and create new opportunities in healthcare. This discovery will serve to make human life more comfortable and efficient.

The Chinese government has introduced the possibility for Russian citizens to travel visa-free for 30 days. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This new regulation will be applied on a trial basis for one year starting from September 15. This decision aims to significantly increase the flow of tourists traveling from Russia to mainland China. According to the Russian Tourism Industry Union (RSSI), the new regulation allows for multiple repeated trips and helps develop the tourism sector. Additionally, the Russian Tour Operators Association (RTOA) emphasized that the number of Russians traveling to Asian countries via China may also increase. Experts believe that if ticket prices do not rise sharply, this new regulation will further strengthen tourism potential. This initiative serves to reinforce tourism ties between China and Russia, providing travelers with greater freedom. Moreover, it is considered an important step in developing regional tourism. This change will form the basis for further cultural and economic cooperation between the two countries.

The supreme leader of the “Taliban” interim government in Afghanistan, Haibatullah Akhundzada, has issued a new decree. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to this decree, certain parts of traditional wedding ceremonies have been found to contradict Islamic norms and impose financial burdens, and have been strictly prohibited. Under the new rules, customs such as paying excessively large sums of money at weddings, giving large amounts as bride price, holding pre- and post-wedding feasts, and presenting expensive gifts will be eliminated. Furthermore, it is not permitted to give gifts more than once within a year after the wedding feast. The main prohibitions in the decree include the following. Holding wedding and engagement feasts is forbidden. At the handkerchief ceremony, gifts are exchanged only between the bride and groom, and such events are not allowed in hotels. The bride cannot accept clothing as a gift more than once a year after the wedding feast, and the groom is not allowed to receive any gifts at all. Weddings must be organized according to the groom’s means and without expensive hotels. Using state-owned vehicles at weddings is prohibited. The groom does not send food to the bride’s family, and the bride’s family does not charge for sweets. Additionally, the practice of resolving disputes through bride exchange – known as badal – is completely banned. Competitions held as rewards for expensive gifts, firing guns into the air, and dangerous driving have also been prohibited. Monetary or clothing gifts given after the wedding have been canceled. Bride price and similar payments have also been banned. The decree also emphasizes that wedding ceremonies must be held shortly after the wedding feast and marriage, without excessive expenses. Experts believe this step is related to the difficult economic situation in Afghanistan. In conditions of rising unemployment and poverty, many young people are deprived of the opportunity to marry. Additionally, the “Taliban’s” restrictions on women’s education and employment, combined with excessive demands, are increasing dissatisfaction within families. It is worth noting that after the “Taliban” came to power, live music at weddings, dancing by men and women, alcoholic beverages, and various entertainment contests were also banned. This decree aims to reduce the financial and cultural burdens of wedding ceremonies and ensure social stability.

Thermoplan, a company based in Switzerland, manufactures coffee machines for Starbucks. This was reported by Zamin.uz. After the US President Donald Trump imposed a 39% tariff on Swiss products, the company has suffered significant financial losses. This situation is putting over 500 jobs at risk. According to the company’s CEO Adrian Steiner, the new tariffs are causing losses of approximately 200,000 francs, or about 250,000 dollars, every week. Therefore, Thermoplan is considering options to move production to Germany or open a new factory in the US. Experts warn that if the tariffs are not lifted, thousands of workers in Switzerland could become unemployed. Some companies are also exploring options to relocate production to the European Union. The majority of Thermoplan’s products are exported abroad, and Starbucks is one of its largest customers. The current tariffs are also negatively affecting this partnership. This situation could seriously impact the company’s operations and the lives of its employees.

The Belgian government has announced that it will officially recognize the State of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly in September. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The country's Foreign Minister, Maxim Prevo, made this announcement. According to him, Belgium will join countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Canada, and Australia with this decision. At the same time, strict sanctions against Israel are expected to be imposed. These sanctions may include banning the import of products from Jewish settlements in the West Bank and the possibility of initiating legal proceedings. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassy in Belgium have not yet responded to this news. Earlier, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the plan to recognize Palestine in London a "reward for HAMAS." In July, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer outlined several conditions for Israel: to stop the severe situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire, restore the possibility of a two-state solution, allow the UN to deliver humanitarian aid, and prevent new annexations in the West Bank. The UN General Assembly will begin in New York on September 9. Ireland, Spain, and Norway have already recognized Palestine as a state. As of March 2024, 147 out of 193 UN members have officially recognized Palestine. Meanwhile, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced plans to build a new residential settlement in the West Bank, emphasizing that this step will completely eliminate the idea of Palestinian statehood. Additionally, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio canceled the visas of 81 representatives of the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization. This restricts their ability to participate in the UN General Assembly. It should be noted that the 1947 UN agreement stipulates that the US must allow foreign diplomats to attend meetings in New York, but Washington has the right to refuse visas citing security and foreign policy reasons.

The name Muhammad is the most commonly used and popular name among students in Israeli schools. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This trend is observed across all educational stages from primary to secondary school. According to data provided by the Population Registration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, among first-grade students born in 2019, the names Muhammad, Yusuf, and Adam are widespread for boys. Among girls, the names Tamar, Maryam, and Avigayil are frequently encountered. Among middle school students born in 2013, the names Muhammad and Noah hold leading positions. Among boys in the Jewish community, names such as Itay, Uri, Noam, Daniel, David, Ariel, Yonatan, Itamar, and Eytan are popular. Among girls, the preferred names are Shira, Noa, Tamar, Yael, Talia, Maya, Neviya, Roni, Michal, and Gila. Among middle school students born in 2010, the names Muhammad and Shira are commonly found. In the Jewish sector, the most popular boys' names are Itay, Uri, Noam, Daniel, and Yonatan. Among girls, the names Shira, Noa, Tamar, Yael, and Talia are highly regarded. The Population Registration Office emphasizes that naming habits among young people are gradually changing, but this process is neither abrupt nor revolutionary. The name Muhammad remains the most popular not only in Israel but also among Muslim communities in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and many other countries. According to experts, the name Muhammad holds not only religious and cultural significance but is also widely used as one of the most popular and valued names worldwide. This name maintains its place in family and educational spheres as well.

The United Nations (UN) has allocated five million US dollars from the Central Emergency Response Fund to assist the population affected by the severe earthquake in Afghanistan. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This funding is directed towards financing rescue and relief operations following the natural disaster, delivering necessary food, drinking water, medicines, and temporary shelter to those affected. In his statement, the UN Secretary-General expressed deep sympathy with the people of Afghanistan, extended condolences to the families of the deceased, and wished a speedy recovery to the injured. According to the organization, in cooperation with partner organizations operating in Afghanistan, the needs of the population are being assessed promptly. Coordination with local authorities is underway to mobilize additional assistance forces if necessary. The UN emphasizes that the current funding is insufficient to meet the humanitarian needs. Therefore, the Secretary-General calls on the international community to allocate additional funds and resources. He believes that more material assistance is required for a swift and effective response to this tragic situation. According to experts, providing the population with clean water, medical services, and temporary shelter in the initial days after the earthquake is the most critical task. For this reason, the UN and its partners are primarily implementing programs focused on urgent needs.

The Saudi Arabian state-owned company Saudi Aramco and Iraq's state corporation SOMO have restricted oil supplies to the large Indian company Nayara Energy. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This decision is said to have been made as a result of the European Union's sanctions imposed on countries cooperating with Russia. According to information, the main shares of Nayara Energy belong to Russia's Rosneft company, which used to import about three million barrels of Saudi and Iraqi oil every month. However, the situation changed in August, and the company started to receive oil only from Russia. Due to the cessation of supplies from other countries, operations were limited solely to Moscow. As a result, the oil refinery plant in Vadinar city was forced to reduce production by 70-80 percent. This situation affected not only the production volume but also caused a shortage of products in both domestic and foreign markets. The company is currently using covert tankers – the "black fleet" service – to overcome sales difficulties and transportation problems. Although such practice is not prohibited by official laws, it raises discussions about transparency and security issues in the international market. Additionally, the United States is sharply criticizing India's purchase of oil from Russia. President Donald Trump accused New Delhi in August of not limiting relations with Moscow and imposed an additional 25 percent tariff on Indian products. This tariff affected products such as clothing, precious stones, furniture, and footwear. Experts emphasize that this decision will negatively impact trade relations between the two countries.

A massive landslide in western Sudan has killed more than 1000 people, causing a serious tragedy among the population. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to information provided by the international news agency Reuters, a village located in the Marra Mountains area was almost completely destroyed by the landslide. This natural disaster raises great concern not only for the local population but also for the ecology of the entire region and human safety. The landslide occurred on August 31, caused by several days of heavy and continuous rainfall. As a result of the landslide, many houses, gardens, and roads were severely damaged, and important infrastructure elements for the population were destroyed. Experts emphasize the need to improve local early warning systems and strengthen preparedness for emergencies to protect against such natural disasters. The government and international organizations have started efforts to assist the victims and restore the area. The people of Sudan are focused on enhancing safety measures, rebuilding the affected areas, and providing aid to those in need. This disaster once again reminded the global population of the importance of being constantly prepared for natural events and taking precautionary measures.

In 1985, the search for the Titanic liner in the Atlantic Ocean served as a cover for an ultra-secret and strategic operation carried out by the US Navy. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This was revealed to CNN by the famous oceanographer Robert Ballard. As he emphasized, many at the time considered the Titanic search to be a simple scientific expedition, but in reality, it was a secret military operation conducted by naval intelligence. The operation's goal was to locate Soviet Union submarines. Ballard disclosed the details of this secret operation on the 40th anniversary of the Titanic discovery. His primary task was to identify the sunken US nuclear submarines "Thresher" and "Scorpion" in the Atlantic Ocean. For this purpose, Ballard used a specially developed robotic search device called "Argo." With this technology, he was able to transmit video remotely to the ship. Ballard convinced the US Navy to allocate the necessary time and resources for the expedition. However, despite many years of thorough planning, there was no clear vision for finding the Titanic. This was due to the limited time allocated for the search and the advanced ship sonar system used by a team led by French engineers. This technology was expected to help locate the liner's sinking site more quickly, but the constraints of time and resources did not fully guarantee success. Ballard also mentioned that studying the remains of the "Scorpion" submarine provided valuable information for identifying the Titanic disaster site. After the large liner sank, it left a long chain of debris. While it was previously assumed that these were gathered in one place, according to Ballard, heavier objects sank to the seabed, while lighter parts sank more slowly. This information is of great importance for future underwater research.

Former US President Donald Trump is demanding the disclosure of information about effective drugs against coronavirus. This was reported by Zamin.uz. He expressed his firm opinion on this matter on his social media. According to Trump, pharmaceutical companies must make public the results and effects of drugs that have proven effective against COVID-19. This information plays a crucial role in saving millions of lives. While some people support this decision, others oppose it. Additionally, Trump emphasized that there are differing opinions within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). However, he firmly insists on the disclosure of this information. The White House leader stated that although confidential information about drugs from Pfizer and other manufacturing companies is under his control, it has not been made available to the general public. According to him, if this information is revealed, public trust will increase and the fight against diseases will be more effective. Trump's demands and calls encourage pharmaceutical companies and the public to think more deeply. Especially during the coronavirus pandemic, disclosing necessary information to save lives is considered important. This process serves to ensure transparency in the healthcare system and strengthen trust.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping met in Beijing to discuss relations between the two countries. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Putin emphasized that the relations have reached an unprecedented level, while Xi stated that China-Russia cooperation is withstanding international changes. The meeting took place ahead of a major military parade in China. This parade is being held to mark the 80th anniversary of Japan's surrender following the end of World War II. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was also invited to the parade. The two leaders criticized Western countries. Xi condemned the aggression of certain countries, while Putin justified Russia's actions in Ukraine and blamed the West for the conflict. At the same time, Beijing maintains a neutral position with Moscow. Despite the US and its allies accusing China of assisting Russia, Beijing denies this. It was emphasized that the meeting aimed to further strengthen strategic cooperation between the two countries. This event holds significant importance in international politics and may impact regional stability.

A landslide occurred in the Marra Mountains located in the western Darfur region of Sudan after heavy rain. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the Sudan Liberation Army, at least over a thousand people died in this natural disaster. The village of Tarasin was completely destroyed, with only one person surviving. Many people are in critical condition due to the landslide and urgently need assistance. The armed group has appealed to the United Nations and international organizations for help. This is because many residents in this area had already fled their homes due to the ongoing civil war and sought refuge in the Marra Mountains. The governor of Darfur, Minni Minnawi, called this event a great tragedy and urged the international community to provide aid. He emphasized that the local population cannot overcome this disaster on their own. The civil war ongoing in Sudan since April 2023 has led the country into famine and crisis. According to various sources, nearly 150,000 people have died since the conflict began, and more than 12 million have been forced to leave their homes. These events pose a serious threat to Sudan's peace and stability. Rapid and effective assistance from the international community is of great importance.

A 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, Irina Zarutska, was stabbed to death on a train in North Carolina. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The police arrested 34-year-old Decarlos Brown, who attacked the woman, and charged him with murder. The incident was recorded on video and widely shared on social media, causing significant public outrage. The city mayor called the incident a failure of the judicial system and promised measures to enhance safety on public transport. Zarutska's family stated that she had fled the war in 2022 and come to the United States, quickly adapting to her new life. She was interested in art, loved animals, and lived happily with her family. The incident also sparked political debates. Some criticized that Brown, despite having been previously convicted of serious crimes, had been released. The state leader called for more effective measures against crime. This event once again prompted discussions in society about safety and justice issues.

A new direction has emerged in trade between Russia and the United States. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In July 2025, Russia exported chicken eggs to the USA for the first time. This was reported by “RIA Novosti” based on data from the American statistical service. According to the data, in July, the United States purchased eggs worth a total of 455 thousand dollars from Russia. During that month, the USA imported eggs worth a total of 16.5 million dollars, with Russia entering the list as a new supplier. Among the egg supplying countries, Brazil leads with products worth 8.8 million dollars. Mexico exported eggs worth 3.9 million dollars, and India exported eggs worth 933 thousand dollars. Additionally, in July, the USA imported eggs worth 518 thousand dollars from Saudi Arabia for the first time. Officials noted that the recent widespread avian influenza in the USA has caused a shortage of eggs in the local market. As a result, egg prices have doubled compared to last year. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, if tests from birds infected with avian influenza come back positive, they are culled en masse. This measure is applied to prevent the spread of the disease. Analysts believe that Russia’s export of eggs to the USA may create new market opportunities for the country. At the same time, it indicates an expansion of trade relations between the two countries. It once again demonstrated the importance of daily consumer products like eggs in the global market. This also emphasizes how crucial food security is.

French traveler Sofian Sehili, who traveled by bicycle from Portugal to Vladivostok, was detained in Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the French publication Le Monde, citing its sources, he was attempting to break the world record for the fastest crossing of Eurasia by bicycle but is accused of crossing the border illegally. 44-year-old Sofian Sehili is a documentary filmmaker. He has focused his career on cycling since 2012 and has participated in nearly twenty grueling races during this time. He has won eleven of them. Among these, he also took part in the Tour Divide race, which spans 4,500 kilometers from Canada to Mexico. This year, Sehili announced his goal on social media. He planned to break the record for the fastest crossing of Eurasia, set in 2017 by German cyclist Jonas Deichmann. The journey began on July 1, 2025, from Cabo da Roca in Portugal and reached Vladivostok in 64 days, two hours, and twenty-six minutes. However, his route encountered various difficulties. At the end of July, Sehili entered Chechnya through Georgia and crossed the Russian border. Later, he left Russia via the Astrakhan region, passing through Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Mongolia. His next destination was China, where he temporarily halted his journey. According to the traveler, he was stopped by Russian customs officers at the China-Russia border. He announced this on September 2 in an Instagram story. However, there is no clear information about his subsequent fate. According to Le Monde, Sehili is deeply regretful that he could not complete his journey's final stage. He wrote that facing failure near the finish line breaks the heart. He has now been given ten months to consider either making another attempt to break the record or stopping. At the same time, he emphasized that this attempt could also end in lifelong failure.

A person died as a result of a large shark attack in Sydney. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The victim was attacked by a shark while swimming with friends at Long Reef beach. Rescuers brought him to shore, but they were unable to save his life. It is known that the victim had been in the water for only half an hour, and the attack occurred about 100 meters from the shore. Several popular beaches in the Northern Beaches area were temporarily closed following the incident. Experts have stated that these beaches may remain closed for 24 to 72 hours. The police are conducting an investigation to determine the exact species of shark involved in the attack. The last fatal shark attack in Sydney was recorded in 2022. On average, about 20 such incidents occur annually in Australia. This event once again reminded the country of the danger posed by sharks. People need to exercise increased caution along the coast. Rescue services are also strengthening safety measures at the beaches.

The Finnish government has initiated a deportation process for Russians who arrived in the country after Russia's war against Ukraine began. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the Finnish police, from January to September 2025, 104 Russian citizens whose political asylum applications were rejected have been expelled from the country. This was reported by the publication "Vot Tak" on September 5. Official data indicates that the number of deportations has increased significantly this year. The main reason for this is the prolonged delay in processing asylum applications. Over the past two years, interviews with applicants were not conducted, with only some cases undergoing investigations. Activists have appealed to the Finnish ombudsman and filed complaints. Only at the end of 2024 did the interview process begin, says Maksim Aliyev, an activist of the "Kemi Against War" movement. According to him, about 90 percent of Russian applicants received rejection letters after the initial interviews. Many have appealed to the Supreme Court of Finland and expressed their readiness to reapply for asylum. The majority of rejections relate to citizens avoiding conscription. According to the Finnish Migration Service, in May 2023, at least 1,109 Russians sought asylum to avoid military conscription. However, officials rejected their applications and stated that mobilization in Russia had ended. Documents cited statements from then Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and President Vladimir Putin as justification. However, critics emphasize that there is no official decree to halt mobilization. Thus, the fate of Russian refugees in Finland remains uncertain. Authorities say that many applications will continue to be reviewed in the coming months, and the number of rejections may increase.

An unusual incident occurred in Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. French tourist and cyclist Sofian Sexili was detained in Vladivostok on charges of illegal border crossing. This was reported by the prestigious French publication “Le Monde”. According to information, the athlete aimed to travel by bicycle across Eurasia and set a world record. His route started from Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, with Vladivostok as the destination. However, the travel plan encountered an unexpected problem. On September 2, customs officers at the China-Russia border stopped him and accused him of violating the law. Sexili attempted to enter Russian territory twice. Each time he tried to cross at different points located about 200 kilometers from the border. But both attempts ended unsuccessfully. Sofian Sexili was born in 1981. He previously worked on filming documentaries, then stopped directing to focus on sports. At the age of 44, he began undertaking long bicycle journeys to challenge himself. So far, he has participated in about 20 major competitions, winning 11 of them. Experts believe that Sexili’s journey was aimed not only at setting a personal record but also at developing sports tourism in Eurasia. However, the incident in Russia became a major obstacle to his plans. Currently, an official investigation is underway regarding the French athlete. His fate and the outcome of his future trips remain unknown for now.

During the Syrian civil war, thousands of children were separated from their parents and placed in various orphanages and institutions. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In some cases, they were not handed over to their relatives, their documents were altered, and they were kept in unfamiliar places. Currently, many families remain unaware of whether their children are alive or not. According to investigations by the BBC and international organizations, at least 323 children were secretly separated from their relatives. One of the institutions that received the most children is the SOS Children’s Villages International organization located in Austria, where some former employees reported that the identities of the children were changed and contact with them was not permitted. Although the organization partially denies these allegations, it expressed regret over the fate of the children. The SOS leadership announced that an independent investigation will be conducted regarding the illegal separation of children from their parents in institutions in Syria. Currently, hundreds of mothers continue to search for their children. They visit one institution after another, trying to find their children. The new government in Syria has also begun to investigate this issue, but due to a lack of resources, no definitive results have been achieved yet. International cooperation and comprehensive investigations are considered necessary to resolve this problem.
